Unofficial 308 tool kit specifications

Hi there, I noticed your photos look identical to my car's toolkit - even the blue handled pliers. I am missing my flathead smaller screw driver. I was wondering if I could get you to measure yours? I am also missing the window crank. Do you have that? Is there dimensions for that as well? I have to do an Ebay search. My number is slightly lower than yours, but it's still an 85 QV Euro. Thanks. Franny (53641- Jan/85). I would love the help.

 

Here are pictures of my Tool Kit for the 1985 QV. Built July '84. What sort of Pliers and where can I also find a Long Flat Blade Screwdriver.

Plus, is there anything else missing or incorrect? Let me know. Thanks guy's!

 

Thanks Steven! I found the missing Pliers and the Large Flat Blade Screwdriver!!! Had been hiding under the carpet in the rear quarter panel. BTW, the Pliers have a Blue handle, no markings and the metal is just raw metal color, not Black or Chrome Plated. The Large Flat Blade Screwdriver is longer than the 2 small ones but shorter than the Long Phillips Screwdriver. I will post pictures after the weekend. Thanks for clarifying all the Tools. In the Jack Bag, I have a Black finished Jack, a short extension for the Ratchet, the Ratchet, a L shaped wheel nut tool and a Green topped, round container for the fuses, the bulbs and a spark plug. I will swap out the ceramic fuses for the glass type because I have changed my Fuse Blocks from the original Ferrari Fuse Blocks to the "Birdman" type. This is not meant to be a plug for Birdman, but I must say that they have made a big difference along with the Window Accelerators! Boy! The windows go up and down very quickly and they are smooth.

 

I have Champion Plugs in the little cardboard boxes with cellophane but unfortunately they are not N6GY's which are very hard to find. I do have 2 spare belts and it's a US model so I guess I won't need the emergency triangle. Thanks for your help!

 

I also have a 85qv euro #53415. Built in Sept 84. I believe I have the tool kit, emergency triangle, full jack kit and the emergency light but missing the t handle for the windows. I will take pictures of them tonight.

 

I have the blue pliers, I'm missing a screwdriver, t handle for the window crank and a few pieces out of the green box. Any thing else I'm missing or not right? I don't know what the allen wrench is for, someone may have just threw that in. I do have more fuses in a baggie. I do have to plugs but they are bosch. Everything I have looks great. No rust on anything.

I have noticed that the kits with the blue pliers are missing one thing or another. Wonder if ferrari had a shortage of tools them years and was putting in what ever tools they had at that time?

 

Wow, this has been very helpful. I agree with ItalianJoe. It almost seems like the Euro QV versions only had three screwdrivers and no window crank. I know of another car manufacturer who would take what was on the shelf as well. Good call.

 

There is an '84 Euro QV listed on eBay that has some photos of the tool kit:

Ferrari: 308 GTS Quattrovalvole Targa | eBay


Note the blue handles on the pliers. Seems to be the norm for the '84 year models (what mine has).

 

I have a very late build 85 Euro QV with 4 screwdrivers and the "T" style window crank.

 

Looks like you have the blue handled pliers (which I believe is totally correct for that specific year model) plus two other things that are definitely 'Euro':

- The warning triangle (which you must have in your car by law in Germany)
- Replacement main headlight bulb for a non-sealed beam unit

Given the condition of this tool set, I would coat them in RIG and put them in a vault and assemble what bits you need from readily available/replaceable sources, stick them in a bag, and put them in the boot!

Best,

John.

 

Hi All,

This may have been covered, and, if so I apologize...

Just where does this tool kit and jack go in the car? I saw a photo somewhere with a couple straps on the rear wall, but I don't see anything like this on my car ('85 Euro - German car). The spare bulbs go in the Jack bag, but how about the trouble light? Where does that go? How about the emergency triangle? If you were to pick this car up new in the Munich dealership in 1985, where would all this stuff be?

Photos would be great!

Thanks!

Franny

 

In the early 308s, both rolls were depicted in the Owners Manual lying in the spare tire under the front bonnet.

Or maybe just the smaller tool roll.

My 1977s have the rubber straps in the LH rear trunk, that make a handy place for the jack roll (or maybe a Fire extinguisher!!)

Hazard triangle (Euro only) goes in the Jack Kit.

Trouble light could go into the console storage (on a GTB!!!)

 

Two plugs, one of each recommended heat range...one is colder for Track Use.

 

You need an Allen wrench to change gear or engine oil......the drain plugs are a recessed hex.

Not a Factory Tool item, though.

 

Steven,
Ref: #469. I am interested in the Champion Spark Plugs if they are still for sale. All 4 or 2, whichever you want to sell me. My address is robertsonpdt at comcast dot net Thanks!
